Minus 137 degrees, and 10,823 metres in the sky; your protection? A wingsuit. Welcome to the world of Fraser Corsan, an extreme athlete from Salisbury, England, who has broken the fastest speed travelling without the support of machinery.

Strapped with an oxygen mask, heated gloves and a sat nav, Corsan was able to achieve a speed of 249mph; breaking the previous record set of 234mph.

The 42-year-old was also attempting to break the longest distance and time achieved in a wingsuit; however, due to poor weather, the Briton could not break the current time and distance of 9.06 minutes and 19 miles.

Corsan stated how he could see a radius of 250 miles after being the first European flyer to have jumped out of a plane at the highest altitude of 10,823 metres.
